WILL STAT IN NEW YORK. So Says Mrs. Yerkcs, Who De nles Being Married to MIzner Whole Matter will Soon be Adjusted Refuses to See Re porters Will Not Discuss Mat ters. New York, Fol . 1. Nobody h at p'ir-d ht tu Utbtnct hUome'tt office heie charging oonspirscv in coMUfC'icn with ttib mhrruc oi Wilson M zutr, of San Krai -Cisco, aua tbe Kloi.dke, atd Mrs. Charles T. Yeikes, although Ctarles E. Yerke,of Cb'cago, son of the lute Charles T. Yeikes, is reported as saying tbat tbe story of the marriage is part of a plot on tbq part of persons tbat are in a "b'g gamp." Ti - jigot young M zuer, having recovered from an indisposition he was suffering from when he re turned to New York from Phila delphia, late Wedneaday night, left the Hotel Aator, where he is stop pirg about 8 o'clock. He was baok at 10:80 o'clook, smiling and ap parently in the best of spirits. He met the reporters with outstretched bands. "I have been op to 864 Fifth avenue to call on my wife. I was thero about two hours, and bad a long talk with her. I wanted her to make a statement to tbe public, which, as I can understand, takes an interest in our affairs. Mrs. Yerkes declined to say anything tonight. She will make a state ment tomorrow, I think. "Now, as a matter of fact, the reason why Mrs. Yerkes denied being married to me was that the news came out too soon to suit her, though it was not through any faait of my own. She did not expect that the marriage wonld be aoBoanced for a good while, and hen she woke np Wednesday morning and fount that the news papers were roil ot it sue was pretty angry. She was so angry that she denied the whole thing, and'sfter she once put herself, on record, so to speak, she did not want to face about. Yon see, Mrs. rather believes that it isn't any body's business bat her own what she does, and perhaps she is in clined to resent inquiries. '.'The whole matter will be ad justed within a short time. Mrs. Yerkes did not see fit to make a statement to the cewjpapers to night, but I think that tomorrow she will have something important to say. "1 am going to sit y right ber in New York, which is tbe plac' for me just now, I imagine. I certainly have uo reason to col - ceal anything, and I wouldn't have said anything about the marriage if the news had not leaked out and if it had not been put np to mo so strong that I had to u 11 lie or the truth. You can be;. I was surprised that Mrs. Yerkes denied it so strongly." Mrs. Yerkes refused to see re porters today. In the afternoon she sent for Dr. Edwin Stern ber- gor, of 43 East Sixtieth meet. When Sternberger left the house, he ran into forty newspaper men, who wanted to know a lot of things. , . "Mrs. Yerkes," he said; appear ing to aeeent the Yerkes rather trengly, "is not ill, bat she is nervous and not well enough to see anybody. As for her being married to Wilson Mizner or auy body else, there is no truth in it at at'. Mrs. Yerkes told me t deny it.'' Dr. Sternberger refused to dis ouss tbe matter any further. He said tbst wbat be knew was be tween phyn'oiao and patient, and that be was not at liberty to talk. Mysterious Slabber at work In St. Louis.

Number of Cases on Docket Two or Three Cases Charging Mur derThere Is Not so Large a Docket as Usual One Week Term Commenced Monday. The regular February term of Robeson Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases convened in tke court bouse Monday morning with Judge M. H. Justice, of Rutherfordton, presiding. Solid tor Lyon was at his desk. The criminal docket at this term is not as large as it usually is, but yet there are quite a number of cases of more or less importance. There are by cases on tne tnai aooset and anumber of other cases on the motion docket. The term i for one week. One could tell by tne number os people present on the court house square yesterday morning that it waa "court today." Early in the morning the crowd began to gather and when oourt convened the court room was crowded. Mr. H. B. Ashley, of Red Springs was made foreman of the grand jury. The Charge of Judge Justice to the grand jury was a clear concise and forceful exposition of the criminal law of North k Carolina. He said that magazine writers had given to the world some learned articles on the unsafe system of ury trials and suggested other plans but few people were willing to give up to the present court system for something new and untried. Judge Just tea in tha outset of his obarge referred to tbe the daik and uninviting oondition of the court room. He said that we, bad hsrs the largest county in tbe statu and tha toarth in point of popula tion. That the county set 'large and wealthy should have sueh al poor court boose, he thoagtit, was quite a. rf (taction pon the citizens. U t instructed the jory, to ed aiiisr it before making their report and make a reeoamendation at this term. . . Tne cas?s npan the docket are mainly for minor offence. There are two or tnrae cases in wnicn arrests were made for ranrder but it s hardly probable jthat til's be rjtnrned by tbe prand jury in more tbau one cssp. phus Daniels It was pointed out to the Execu tive corummittee that Raleigh is the railroad center of North Car olina, having fourteen regular passenger trains in and out daily, and is therefore the most acessi Me point in tbe state. All of these railroads will offer reduced rates to persons attending the assem bly. Commenting upon the decision of the committee Mr. Connor said : "We considered the invitat on with tbe great care, trying to look at it from every point of view. I think perhaps the thing which most influenced tbe committee was the enthusiastic and earnest spirit displayep byathe delegation from tbe chamber of commerce. We felt that this spirit represented tbe the attitude of the people of Ral eigh and we belicvo that with such a spirit of co-operation on their part with tne officers of the as bly the soaion must be a successful one UNDCLL TBE NAME CHOSEN.
